I'm literally asking this for a friend. He wants a gaming laptop with i5 and GTX 1060.

I've searched all around the internet and cannot find any laptop with that specs. For him the GTX 1060 is a must but it is only available with i7.

 

My guess is that i5 will just bottleneck the 1060 and that's why manufacturer don't make them like that, but lets not discuss that.

 

He is on a budget of maximum Rs. 80K, which is without tax = $800-1000

And apparently a friend of his has some Acer Helios with i5+GTX 1060 but I can't find it.

 

I want him to buy something like i5+GTX 1050 Ti because it's not that bad.

Laptop suggestions for that budget please?

Does he actually need to play while traveling? If not just get an external GPU solution.

Bummer! I have to go now.

Guess, there isn't any laptop with i5 and GTX 1060

I don't mean, to be mean, but did you try google? Either way You're correct in that he should just get a machine with a 1050 or 1050ti, or just an R5 2500U machine
